Of course Fox is reporting a Rasmussen poll that is a shocking outlier on African American approval ratings, and so of course the president tweeted about it.
Left, Fox & Friends, 8:53 am
Right, Trump, 10:15 am
In August, after Trump retweeted similar Rasmussen numbers, WaPo reported, "Polling firms that have interviewed far more African Americans, and that are much more transparent than Rasmussen, all show that Trump’s black approval rating is much lower"

By contrast, Gallup has never recorded African American job approval for Trump above 15 percent.

Civiqs has African American support consistently in the single digits

When everyone is on board with the White House talking points.
Presidential adviser and Fox host Sean Hannity: "This is a national emergency, it's time to build the wall."
Presidential adviser and Fox host Lou Dobbs: "This president is leading the nation on a national emergency that only he can solve and has the political will. The American people, all they need is a strong leader. He's it."

1. Trump’s Fox cabinet returned from vacation yesterday and urged him to “stay strong” on the shutdown. mm4a.org/4Qt
2. For the first 10 days, Trump had to watch the B-team cover his shutdown. But now Hannity, Dobbs, and company are back, and they are continuing to egg him on.
3. Trump's Fox cabinet has been a problem for a while. But we are now moving toward a dynamic where they possess real veto power over government actions.

Alright. Time to identify all of the Trump-Fox livetweets that I missed while I was off for the holidays.
I've nailed down around 20 Trump tweets that appear to respond to Fox programming. There are certainly more, but there are a few factors making it more complicated -- lots of tweets about the wall and Syria and the economy that could be, but are not definitively, live-tweets.
I'll start with 12/21.

Left, Fox & Friends, 7:06 am

Doocy: Will McConnell use the nuclear option to get the wall?
Earhartdt: "So far the president has not tweeted about that."

Right, Trump, 8:02 am

Right-wing panelist on Meet the Press on climate change: "I'm not a scientist ... We need to also recognize we had two of the coldest years, biggest drop in global temperatures that we have had since the 1980s, the biggest in the last 100 years. We don't talk about that."
GOP Senators Ben Sasse and Mike Lee were both asked this morning about the National Climate Assessment. Both pivoted to "innovation" and a mythical need to relax government regulation.
Meanwhile, here's @Elise_Jordan pointing out the "deeply entrenched corporate interests within the Republican party" as the reason they persist in climate denialism.

Fox & Friends had Daily Caller editor @VAKruta on to discuss the fear she felt attending @Ocasio2018 rally.

"They talk about things everybody wants, especially if you're a parent. They talk about education for your kids, health care... it was really uncomfortable." #BeyondParody
This @foxandfriends segment about @Ocasio2018 is completely beyond parody thinkprogress.org/alexandria-oca…
DAILY CALLER EDITOR: “They talk about things that everybody wants, especially if you’re a parent — they talk about education for your kids, health care... [but] it’s easy to fall into that trap & say, ‘my kids deserve this, and maybe gov't should help me'" thinkprogress.org/alexandria-oca…

President Trump tried to squirm away from what he said yesterday. It’s twenty-four hours too late, and in the wrong place.
If @realDonaldTrump can’t say directly to President Putin that he is wrong & we are right & our intelligence agencies are right, it’s ineffective & worse, another sign of weakness.
It tells President Putin 'continue to take advantage of Donald Trump' because he doesn’t have the courage, the strength, maybe not even the conviction to say to Putin’s face what he tried to say a few minutes ago.

Fox & Friends has effectively replaced DOJ's Office of the Pardon Attorney.

Attorney for the sailor Trump just pardoned tells me that grabbing Trump’s attention by going on Fox News was a major part of their strategy.

For the record, that’s five days between Fox & Friends appearance and presidential pardon
